Tobacco and Betel -nut, both are equally damaging to the oral cavity and can cause oral cancer.

It is very well recognized that tobacco causes oral cancer. But consuming betel - nut with or without tobacco can cause Oral Submucous Fibrosis which is a pre - cancerous condition. So tobacco as well as betel-nut both should be stopped to prevent oral cancer.

Hi lybrate-user
cleaning and whitening of teeth are two different things. Cleaning is known as scaling and it doesn't remove enamel layer where as whitening is done by bleaching which can cause sensitivity to hot and cold.
Hope it clarifies your doubt

There are a lot of reasons for mouth ulcers. Is there any stomach distress, constipation etc, firstly rule this possibility and get this problem treated. Ulcers will subside by themselves. The other reason is stress. It has a direct relation to mouth ulcers. Any changes in diet pattern. Hot or spicy foods
get your oral hygiene checked, any broken fillings, deposits on teeth and underneath gums, loose illfiting dentures. Then there are other systemic problems like diabetes mellitus, vitmain b complex deficiencies etc.

Hi
treatment plan to make your teeth white goes as follows:
visit the dentist, who will first do clean up of your teeth this will remove all the extrinsic stains and deposits present on the teeth & reveal the original colour of your teeth.
After that if you want more brighter teeth
you can undergo teeth whitening or bleaching treatment for further enhancement of shade.
Your dentist will be best judge to decide
whether home bleaching or in office bleaching will provide you with the desired results. You can try some commercially available whitening toothpastes after bleaching to maintain the effect for bit longer time.
Whitening toothpastes can also be used without bleaching treatment for very minor yellowish discolouration but cannot give you satisfactory results in more complex situations.

Here is home remedy for brighter teeth--- mix several teaspoons of baking soda with enough fresh lemon juice (or water) to make a paste.
Wipe your teeth and any extra saliva off of them with a paper towel.
Put a good amount of paste onto your toothbrush and apply.
Leave the paste on for 1 minute, then rinse, so as to avoid the acid effecting enamel.
If you are using just water you can leave it on for up to 3 minutes. For faster result you can go for teeth bleaching from dentist.
